At the behest of my wife we ordered and received Undaunted Normandy as she enjoys deck builders and was intrigued by a review of it on The Dice Tower.  I'm really hoping we can enjoy this one together.

In other news I've somehow finally convinced my wife and few members of the extended family to give D&D a shot and so I'm now on the hook for introducing them all to RPGs as a DM with very little experience. Needless to say I'm altogether excited and terrified. So this next month I'll be helping them create characters and figure out Zoom/Skype for running the game as we are all fairly spread out.

I'd say use Zoom. It's easy to use and my experience is flawless. That's all we use for work meetings now.
One person should be the host and pony up for a paid account. It's $20 a month. This will allow you to have a session as long as you want and have as many guests as you want. Then the others can just download the free version.
If it works out that your group wants to keep playing, then they all can chip in for the paid account. If not, yer just out $20 for the one month.

Yeah I think I'm leaning toward zoom and I can connect with my phone and use that as camera to show any battle map we might need unless of course I want to learn a VTT

Time for a DC Warsaw to Paris: Operation Sealion update from the weekend. Sept. 2nd 1940 I have 20 VP's and need 4 more for the win. Here's London. I managed to capture the last bridge over the Thames from the Brits( the yellow highlighted hex). This means they can only supply their units south of the river across the river. So the 2 Armd. Divs. there will have to pull back across or, 'die on the vine' without adequate supply. And my panzers have extended my left flank further north forcing the Brits to do the same or risk being surrounded. The big pocket of units at the bottom right, is totally out of supply and doomed, they are the 1st Canadian, 55th Inf., 2 Home Guard Brigades, and an arty brigade. But the hex I need is in blue, Croydon-- 4 VP's and a HG brigade and engineer battalion are still dug-in heavily and full of fight. So, a couple of more turns of softening-up before I can capture it.

Out west we have chased a HG brigade out of Southampton (2 VP's) and crossed the Test River. And at the top of the screen, Gus Weitersheim's 20th Motorized Div. has beaten the Brits to Newbury (1VP). Elsewhere, the RN is sinking everything in the Channel larger than a Rubber Ducky, it's raining Brit guerrilla units, which is playing hell with my supply, and... it's really raining still. Which grounds the Luftwaffe and makes my arty less effective.  :tickedoff:

I mostly think it's raining Hobnobs there.

You gotta love national/regional stereotypes.  ::)  Having grown up (and spent most of my life) in Minnesota, it never ceases to amaze/amuse me the number of folks who are honestly astonished to *not* find snow on the ground in the summer, and/or that the temperatures regularly soar above 20 C.  :idiot2:

You seem strangely eager to know the answer.

We spent a week in the summer just outside Newcastle and traveling around the Scottish border country and along Hadrian's Wall and home I got rained on once overnight

A few years later we stayed up in the Highlands about an hour north of Edinburgh for a week in March and we got snowed on one day, but no rain
